Grafana 9 Alert - Include Metric Alias

Grafana Alerting
1

Hi, we are transitioning over from Grafana 8 to Grafana 9 and getting used to the new alerting structure. The one thing I have not yet figured out is how to include the Alias for the metric in the alert payload. This is included by default in the Grafana 8 payload, but in Grafana 9 this does not seem to be available.

Here’s a screenshot of one of the alarms we’re configuring. I would like the alias (Impressions) included in the payload, a post to a webhook, but the only reference I see to it in the payload is labels={metricId=1}, which is accurate, but not very helpful.

Same problem. Did you manage to solve it?

I have not been able to solve this, and it’s still a problem for us. If there is any solution out there for including the alias field that is very helpful, otherwise we’ll have to make more alerts and add the alias manually as an annotation.
